Alessandra Ambrosio is a Brazilian female model . She is one of the faces of Guess? and Victoria's Secret. A lithe brunette with a signature navel piercing, Ambrosio was one of the many Brazilian models to hit it big internationally in the late 1990s.

A professional model since her teen years, Alessandra Ambrosio is only on the cusp of 30, but has already amassed a lifetime of modeling accolades and a multi-million dollar annual paycheck. Having enjoyed the industry exposure that comes from a decade-long association with Victoria’s Secret -- including stints as an Angel and a spokesmodel for Secret Pink -- she also has enough prestigious magazine covers and photo spreads to start a small library. With a roster of collaborators that includes names like Calvin Klein, Prada, Oscar de la Renta, Christian Dior, Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, and Mario Testino, Alessandra Ambrosio is among the best and also one who only works with the best.

The proud owner of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Alessandra Ambrosio would like to parlay her incredible modeling success into other areas, with entertainment being one major possibility. Having already made select TV and film appearance (and more importantly, filmed a Hummer commercial with Regis Philbin), Alessandra Ambrosio would like to keep climbing the acting ranks until she’s able to work with her favorite directors Quentin Tarantino and Tim Burton and her acting crush Johnny Depp. If the whole acting thing doesn’t work out, then there’s always medical school. No sarcasm here. Alessandra Ambrosio also aspires to be a cardiologist, but we must say we’re concerned about how many heart attacks she might cause.
